Kurt Wynn of rural Ashland has been recognized nationally by the American Angus Association for having five registered Angus cows included in the organization's 2009 Pathfinder Report.

Only 2,284 of the nearly 33,000 association members are represented in this year's report, said Bill Bowman, chief operating officer and director of performance programs. The largest number of Pathfinder cows from a single herd this year is 76.

Pathfinder, started in 1978, identifies superior Angus cows based upon recorded performance traits that are economically important to efficient beef production. These traits include early and regular calving and heavy weaning weights, Bowman said.

All registered Angus cows meeting strict Pathfinder standards are listed, along with their owners, in the report and online at www.angus.org.
